City Centre Day of Action

Posted by Finghin Kelly1839sc on

Join in the day of action in Dublin city centre. There will be banner drops, leafleting, stalls... culminating in a street meeting with Joe Higgins TD and Paul Murphy MEP at the Spire at 3pm. Meet up at the GPO at 12pm

Hi all. Obviously weather has been pretty crap today. For tomorrow, the weather forecast isn't great, but it's due to improve in the course of the day. We're suggesting we kick ahead as planned, but we'll have some contingency plans in place in case weather is worse than expected. It's going to be cold - so make sure you bring appropriate clothing! See you tomorrow.

Hi everybody. Between what's indicated on this event page and the mobilisation of SP members we can definitely run five stalls on Saturday. The locations we're looking at going with are
1) GPO
2) Henry St Ilac Centre
3) College Green Bank of Ireland
4) Temple Bar (pedestrianised area on Fleet St near Merchants Arch)
5) Stephen's Green end of Grafton St.
There's the possibility of rain so the stalls are in or near sheltered areas so we can carry on regardless. Based on the indications we have we'll try communicate to most people where we'd like them to go but otherwise see you at the GPO at 12.

Hi all.
Just a word about next Saturday's day of action for the Vote Paul Murphy campaign. The intention is to make a big visual splash in Dublin City centre this Saturday.
The plan is to run at least four, possibly five street stalls spread around different locations. There will be flyers focusing on forced emigration/jobbridge/youth unemployment and another of a more general 'end austerity' type. We want to gather contact details at the stalls of supportive people so we can build up our campaign communications.
Earlier in the day there will be banner drops in hi profile places. Were rounding off with a brief street meeting on Henry St (not the Spire we'll change that in the image above) with Joe and Paul.
A space upstairs in Sweetman's pub has been booked for afterwards for us to put our feet up and enjoy a pint. People may not be free for the whole thing but even if you can do an hour or whatever it all adds up.
